Track Insurance?
Would love to take the 1098s out on the track, but for fear of binning it, I have yet to do so.
Has anyone taken out track insurance? If so, with whom & how much?

I looked into it two years ago for my ST4s. None of the big insurers i looked at would quote.
Having done a search on Google I found a couple of brokers who offered it, but the premium for one day was nearly my annual road insurance (£250) and the excess double. Conclusion...hire an R6 for £195 for the day with a £250 damage excess even if you write it off. Doesn't acheive the objective of riding your own bike on the track. The other routes is to buy a track bike or get aftermarket fairings, remove everything you can from your 1098 and fit a set of crash mushrooms to the frame and bobbins to the wheel spindles. R&G do them for the 1098. Will cost you about the same as track insurance. |

If you where to bin it, another option is to push it down the road outside of the track!! and push it into the nearest bush!! LOL
 failing that option these guys hire out ducati trackbikes! (i dont know what they are like as i has never usedd them but interesting none the less!) Ducati Parts | Independant Ducati Specialist | Louigi Moto Limited | Bristol - Home
